I've been interested in filmmaking, video production & editing my own videos for about 5 years now and I also have a strong interest in filmmaking tech, photography, editing photography in Lightroom & Photoshop, design, street & travel videography/photography etc so in the coming years my goal is to create as many high quality courses covering those topics as possible in the future.
I am naturally a very creative person (I once genuinely tried to become the modern version of Johnny Cash for about 3 years in my early 20s), I also used to draw a lot as a kid, as my father is a talented artist and taught me a thing or two and I always did very well in art subjects at school. I've also been playing guitar since the age of 15, and I even attempted to build my own movie reviewing blog about 10 years ago, studying classic movies right up until today's modern blockbusters, so I've always naturally gravitated towards creative hobbies. However, I also have a technical background as I graduated university with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, but unfortunately I was way too eager to go out and explore the world so I chose instead to travel around the world teaching English to adults who mostly worked in technical fields such as IT & Engineering working for companies such as Google, Amazon, Siemens, Mercedes Benz, Nissan, Disney, Coca Cola etc but also from fields such as Aviation, Medicine, Marketing, Law, Fashion Design etc etc which gave me a great chance to lea

By Jorge Calderon on 7/1/2020

Great Course! Very Complete!

By Peter Buckthorp on 6/2/2020

Too much emphasis on sound and in places the video repeats itself.
Lets see what the second half reveals.

By Tale Memi on 5/17/2020

The best tutorial with almost every detail I've looked at and I'm very pleased with. I hope it has similarities to Filmora9 since I bought the program. I'm sure they are absolutely compatible.
Best regards and I wish you continue to do these extra tutorials.
Cheers, Tale

By Abhijit on 5/10/2020

Quick, Simple and well explained. OK

By Wilfred Tan on 5/6/2020

A good quick overview

By Amar Mahase on 5/5/2020

Very practical and informative. Great course.

By Dennis M Cole on 5/2/2020

This training is from an older version of the Filmora 9 editing suite. I'm currently running Version 9.3.7.1 (2020)
Some of the examples are very basic and not too much skill has been utilized in the training examples. So it's a bit disappointing from that score.
